This edition contains the original and unabridged text of this Hans Christian Andersen classic.
"The Ugly Duckling" is a fairy tale by Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen. The story tells of a homely little bird born in a barnyard who suffers abuse from the others around him until, much to his delight (and to the surprise of others), he matures into a beautiful swan, the most beautiful bird of all. The story is beloved around the world as a tale about personal transformation for the better.
“The Ugly Duckling” was first published in Copenhagen, Denmark to great critical acclaim. The tale is completely Andersen's invention and owes no debt to fairy or folklore.

Once upon a time, a mother duck hatched seven eggs. The ducklings were pretty and yellow except the last one who was big, grey and scruffy. Tired of being teased, the ugly duckling ran out of the farm yard and away across the fields...
In re-telling this familiar and well-loved tale, Jonathan Langley manages to remain faithful to tradition while investing both words and pictures with wit and exuberance.
